Ox people in general are - patient, hard working, observant, intelligent having a strong memory but stubborn & dogmatic.

They are very family oriented and faithful.

On compatibility table they rank well with Rat, Snake, Monkey & Rooster. They do not see eye to eye with dragons though.

General Characteristics - OX

A bull in a china shop? Not the Ox! Although steadfast and solid, the Ox is no mere pasture cow. This powerful creature is a born leader, dependable and with an innate ability to achieve great things. Even so, Oxen tend to be plodding and methodical -- they approach projects in a step-by-step manner and never lose sight of their goal. They are also tireless workers, detail-oriented and believe in doing things right or not at all. The world may perceive Oxen as far too serious and incapable of loosening up. This is because these sturdy sorts are less than social by nature and tend to become introverted in a crowd. To make things worse, they can't be bothered with what other people think and prefer to do what makes them feel best. Behind that calm facade, though, lives an Ox who can be hurt, lonely and unable to connect with others.

Friends and family are a great source of comfort to this beast, even if they don't always understand what makes the Ox tick. Stubborn and dogmatic, Oxen tend to be my-way-or-the-highway kind of folk who have no concept of when to back down. If the masses keep pushing, well, the Earth may tremble! Suffice it to say that Oxen don't care to be pushed, especially since they think they're the good guys of the Chinese Zodiac. There is some truth to that theory, since the Ox is smart, trustworthy, caring and honorable. If you need honest, steady and unbiased advice, call the Ox. A good lesson for mighty Oxen is to strive to overcome a judgmental nature which keeps them from getting close to others. If they can learn to value their own good qualities, they'll have more room in their hearts to bring others in. The most compatible match for an ox is the snake or rooster.

Richard Gere, Wayne Rooney, George Clooney, Andy Lau, Robert Altman, Hans Christian Andersen, Johann Sebastian Bach, Warren Betatty, Napoleon Banaparte, Albert Camus, Jim Carrey, Barbara Cartland, Charlie Chaplin, Melanie Chisholm

Ox Personality

Like its namesake, the Ox is a hard worker. They are ready to carry the burden until the task gets completed. Sometimes, their focus upon getting it done gives them tunnel vision.

They can be stubborn and uncompromising. But hey! Nobody is perfect. While they appear very steadfast, you’ll find them looking for excitement. A little office mischief here and there breaks up the monotony of daily life.

Although not garrulous like the Rat, they are gifted speakers that get their point across. Their innate self-confidence sometimes puts a strain on their romantic relationships.

The Ox doesn’t use sex to build self-esteem, so they go through periods of abstinence. Their partner can misinterpret this lack of affection as rejection. Some keywords used to describe the Ox are stable, creative, focused, eloquent, stubborn, vindictive, and discriminatory.

Years of the Ox include 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009, 2021, 2033.

Feng Shui Insights: Unlocking the Ox Luck in 2024

In the year of the Wooden Dragon 2024, it’s no wonder the Ox is well suited to choosing the color green for his home. Not only does this color brighten up, but it will help him feel that he’s getting the stability he so desperately seeks. If you’re not sure whether you want to paint a large area green, stick to using it for a few closets, for example.

By opting for green in 2024, make sure you choose simple, neutral shades in the rest of the room. Other earthy shades, such as shades of brown, would also suit you.

The lucky numbers for the Ox in 2024 are 5, 14, 39 and 8. Lucky days are April 5, May 5,16,17, September 21 and November 25.

Feng Shui experts warn that in 2024 the Oxen will be prone to possible injury from accidents. They could subdue harmful energies by placing the Royal Elephant & Cosmic Rhino and a Wu Lou with medicinal herbs.
